ESA makes freely available to the scientific community a dataset of SAR products (Envisat and ERS) corresponding to the earthquake of Aquila (Italy) which took place on 6 April 2009. The ESA package also includes data from Third Party missions, in particular Japanese ALOS data.

26 December 2004

Following the Tsunami in Asia of 26 December 2004, a dataset of synthetic aperture radar acquisitions of ENVISAT ASAR and ERS 1&2 SAR, plus some optical acquisitions of ENVISAT MERIS and CHRIS/PROBA are freely available to the Earth Science community.

23 December 2003

As done for the Izmit earthquake in 1999, ESA makes freely available to the scientific community a dataset of ENVISAT ASAR products corresponding to the major quake of Bam (Iran) which took place on 26 December 2003.

Some of these files are extremely large, up to 400 MB in size. Storing and extracting a typical ASAR datafile requires up to 1 gigabyte of free space on your hard drive. The data products provided here have been provided using both .zip and .gz compression in order to reduce their download size. Although some data-compression software can handle both formats, in general zip files are compatible with a Windows O/S and gzip for a Unix O/S.
